I hope it's fine to post such a thread here; as I'm quite new in these forums, so I don't know all the customs and ways yet. 
For those among you using that software, version 5 of Darktable has just been released a few hours ago. It changes quite a lot of things, as the major number increase suggests.
Here's the release log on GitHub, and a video from A dabble in photography channel showing some of the changes. I've only installed it and tried a few things, so I can't comment much on the update. The emphasis of this update is on improving the UX.
Additional camera support:
Also, the still missing compression support:
I don't know if many of you are using it. For now, I'm using NX Studio if I only need minimal work, since it seems to give very good results by default, but when there's more to do, I try with Darktable, or sometimes Affinity (which supports the high efficiency NEFs).
This version adds support for the Z6III, which lets me apply the camera style to get something more or less close to the camera post processing. It's not there yet, but it's informative to see the extra steps it adds. I won't hide that I'm still struggling to get something similar on my own, due to my inexperience with that tool.
